MR Parameters Used for GFR Measurement and Routine Liver Imaging

^*M₀ = asymptote of the signal recovery.

^†Routine dynamic contrast-enhanced liver MR imaging. VIBE = volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination (a fat-suppressed interpolated gradient-echo sequence).

^‡All three MR examinations were performed with a spoiled gradient-echo sequence by using a generalized autocalibrating partially parallel acquisition factor of two and one acquired signal. FLASH = fast low-angle shot, 3D = three-dimensional, 2D = two-dimensional.
